Harry Recording Studio Seizure

Studio

Niall's POV
We all got in the studio together and it was amazing. Everyone was recording their new songs and it was just like our One Direction days.

Harry's songs tended to be my favourite: they were upbeat and cheerful. Some of the lyrics were harsh, mainly about Harry himself, but we all included self-reflection in our songs.

His song, Falling, broke all of our hearts but Harry reassured us afterwards that he was ok and he had needed to write it, in order to heal.

Harry's POV
It was our eighth day in the studio and I was performing Watermelon Sugar 🍉. The boys were really enjoying it, but as I came to the bridge, something didn't feel right. My vocals went funny, and I crouched down.
"Argh," I said, and I heard a door open.
"Harry, you ok?" Niall asked me, but the boy's voices were muffled. My hand spasmed and I shook it to stop it hurting.
"Argh..."
"Have you hurt your hand Harry?" Louis asked, and I realised that someone's hand was on my shoulder.
"I... I took my... meds late..." I told them as I realised.
"Are you having spasms Harry?"
"Think... think so..." I said before the world went black.

Epileptic Spasms

"Thanks Liam," Louis said as I came back round.
"It's been a while since we've been with him for his epilepsy."
"At least he's only been having spasms."
"Yes, thankfully."
"Harry, can you hear us?"
"You're just lying on the ground Harry," Niall told me, and I became aware that I was lying on my side on the ground. I tried to form a word to say to them, but nothing came out of my mouth.
"Come back round for us. Come on Harry."
"L... Louis," I managed to say after a few moments.
"There you are. How are you feeling?"
"Not good."
"Are you going to have a grand mal seizure? Or is it just spasms?" Niall asked me.
"I think my body's... it's good."
"Ok. Just take your time, you've been out for a few minutes."
"Sorry..."
"Don't be sorry. It's epilepsy."
"I, know..."
"Do you need help Harry, or just time to come round?"
"I don't, know."
"Ok. Just keep waking up for us."
"Water Louis."
"Thanks Liam."
"I'm causing... a scene," I said as I felt both Louis and Niall's hands resting on my body.
"You're not Harry."
"You need a bit of help. It's alright."
"I wish I didn't..."
"We know."
"My meds..."
"You took them late, but these things happen. Just focus on coming round."

A few minutes passed and I felt well enough to open my eyes and sit up. I rested against Niall as he was sitting beside me, and Louis handed me the water.
"Carefully Harry," Niall said as he held the cup, and I drank the water slowly.
"Great. How are you doing?" Louis asked and I gave him an 'ok' sign.
"Liam. Do you want to record next?" Niall asked.
"I can do."
"Harry's not fit to carry on."
"Alright then, I'll go next."
"I... will," I interrupted. "Want to get... Watermelon done.. today."
"Ok."
"You can finish it in a bit Harry. Give yourself some time to come round."
"Ok," I said, unable to argue with Niall. He'd been through epilepsy himself, so he knew how I was feeling.

Two hours passed and I was feeling a lot better. Louis stayed with me while I finished recording Watermelon Sugar 🍉, then we re-joined Niall and Liam. Today had been amazing, and it had been phenomenal to watch the other boys record their own solo work.

It was good to know that even after all these years, the boys still had my back and they would look after me when I needed some help 💖.
